This Sunday we celebrate International Women’s Day. For over a hundred years this Day has called our attention to the remarkable political, social and economic accomplishments of women, and encouraged us to work with all people of good will so that the dignity of women may be more fully realised.
It is a great opportunity to affirm the many ways that women exercise gifts of leadership, service, compassion and competence that bring life to our Church and our world.
It is also a time to remember our sisters at home and overseas who continue to encounter startling levels of injustice and violence on the basis of their gender, and who are denied the right to choose the role they wish to play in this world.
